Hollywood actor Zach Braff is the latest big name to pull out of upcoming Fletch sequel, Fletch Won, after being offered the chance to develop his own movie.

Braff joins celebrated director Kevin Smith, who also walked away from the project.

Sequel director Bill Lawrence, who also oversees filming on Braff's hit sitcom Scrubs, says, "Zach is writing and directing his own film at Paramount. I'm very happy for him.

"We were looking forward to doing this thing together, but when you get an opportunity like that, you've got to take it."

Chevy Chase starred in the original movies Fletch and Fletch Lives in the 1980s.

It's a shame Kevin Smith pulled out of this project. He's been wanting to do a "Fletch" movie for years.
